It's not all bad… because of reasons I was using windows XP the other day, and basically internet is unusable because of https and severely old certs that are on XP. I installed chrome on it.

You touch on an other subject: old software and encryption, etc.

I'm very much for something like archive.org making old software run again so people can use it as it used to be used.

I'm amazed at what has been possible: https://archive.org/details/win3_stock

https://bellard.org/jslinux/vm.html?url=win2k.cfg&mem...

But as we've seen for example Apple had a service which was used to check developer signing certificates. These kinds of things will make it harder and harder to keep old software running.

And full disk encryption will mean a device which isn't in use anymore because someone dies the data might be gone.

The reason the dark ages are called the dark ages is because we didn't have much books/records from then. We might be entering (if not already have) digital darkages.
